| Common Name: Shaggy Mane Scientific Name: Coprinus comatus Picture taken: 10-17-05 Description: Caps are usually tall, and cylindrical and shaggy or scaly. Caps are a white or gray shade. Gills are free and very crowded, white first, then becoming black and inky from the outside edge of the cap (margin) in to the top of the stalk. The stalk is white, and hollow. As the gills melt into black inky ooze, the cap shrivels and melts with it. Spore print is black. When young and still white, this mushroom is a choice edible. These had already started melting.
